They'll follow the CR team wherever they go. And any new viewers are almost guaranteed to be people in the same boat, so like [USER=4010]@elawai[/USER] said, they're not going to have any sort of system baggage.I think there's something to be said for the difference in mindset of D&D players in the two situations. Back then, there was a brand new edition of the game coming out, and so of course they wanted to move on to newer and arguably better. We don't have that here. Even before the OGL controversy, the community has been extremely split on One D&D, and arguably was more against than for it.</blockquote>
